Joke: How to Make Mama Happy
Three sons left home, said goodbye to their dear single mother and went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly Mother on her birthday. They all loved her dearly, and each wanted more than anything to give her something she'd truly love.
The first said, "I built a big house for our mother. 16 rooms and a huge back yard filled with trees and flowers. A house that was used by royalty, and will give her all the space she never had."
The second said, "Well I sent her a Mercedes with a private driver that'll take her anywhere she wants to go. She never needs to drive again, and he can help her carry heavy things back to the house."
The third smiled and said, "I've got you both beat. You remember how Mom enjoyed reading the Bible? And you know she can't see very well any more. I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took the Elders in the church 12 years to teach him. He's one of a kind. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot recites it."
Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks: "Milton," she wrote the first son, "the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house."
"Gerald," she wrote to the second son, "I am too old to travel any more. My eyesight isn't what it used to be. I stay most of the time at home, so I rarely use the Mercedes. And the driver is so rude!"
"Dearest Donald," she wrote to her third son, "you were the only one to have the good sense to know what your Mother likes. That chicken was delicious!!"
